Project description

episoder

episoder

Episoder is a tool to tell you about new episodes of your favourite TV shows. It does so by parsing online TV episode guides.

Currently episoder can get data from epguides and TheTVDB and tells you whenever a new episode of a show listed on one of those sites is aired.

There is also a web-based version of episoder, called webisoder which can be used for free at webisoder.net.

Dependencies

In order to use episoder, you will need python installed on your system. In addition to the default distribution, the requests, argparse, sqlalchemy and beautifulsoup4 modules are required.

Downloading

The official website, bug tracker etc. for episoder can be found at code.ott.net/episoder.

Installation

You can install episoder through pypi (using easy_install or pip) or by running setup.py from the downloaded and extracted tarball.

Configuration

The configuration file at ~/.episoder contains your default settings for episoder. After installing episoder, the man page will help you with the configuration.

Using episoder

To use episoder you will typically:

  • Create a cron job to update your database once a day using episoder update
  • Add episoder to your ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/profile if you want to see your upcoming shows every time you start a shell. Consult your shell's documentation to find out which file to use.
  • Or run episoder notify at regular intervals to get notifications by e-mail.
